Actor Dwayne Johnson says he sideswiped truck but owner refused his offer to pay for damage

BOSTON – Actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson says he sideswiped a truck while filming his latest movie in Massachusetts.

The “San Andreas” action star took to Instagram on Monday to say he’d recently hit a parked truck and damaged its side mirror while on route to the movie set.

Johnson says truck owner Audie Bridges recognized him and refused to accept money for the damage. He thanked the Wakefield resident for “being so cool about the whole thing” before posing for a picture with him by the damaged truck.

The Boston Globe reports Bridges confirmed Monday the incident happened about a month ago and he was able to fix the damaged mirror himself.

Johnson is in Massachusetts filming “Central Intelligence,” an action comedy also starring Kevin Hart.
